Title: Citizenship Test
Post by: Commodore Axilon on July 03, 2008, 10:43:27 AM
Could you pass the latest citizenship test (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25461301/) for the United States?

I got 19/20. I missed the one about the number of amendments to the Constitution.

18/20.

I messed up on the first words of the constitution. I knew them, but I chose the wrong one. >:

I also blanked out on what the fed. gov't can't do. -facepalm- I was close, though.

I scored slightly better with 15/20.

I feel dumb.

Well, I'm going to miss this country, they sent my test results to the government and they're on the way to my house.

In all seriousness, I got a 19/20.  I forgot my Chief Justice.

Yep, I pretty much got the same score and the same question wrong. Thank you, government class!

I almost wanted to put down that the opening words of the Preamble are:

If only they'd had, "Dear @#$%^#$%#" as bubble-- I would've chosen that for the lulz factor.

Of course, that would better fit the Declaration, wouldn't it?

I believe the average would be a lot less than 50.

I got 80%.

I got them all right. It says for those who got 85% and up :Welcome to the United States! (And, truth be told, you know more about this great land than most Americans.) So basically, a 9th grader (who doesn't like the country he lives in very much) knows more about his country (The United States) than most adults living in that country. That doesn't say anything good about the US, now does it?  ;)
